Y-K Delta State Senator Lyman Hoffman officially endorsed Dan Sullivan for US Senate Friday. The former Attorney General and Natural Resources commissioner is seeking the seat of incumbent Mark Begich.
An announcement of Hoffman’s endorsement came late in the day. The two candidates debated Friday at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention.
Hoffman was first elected to the legislature in 1991 and the Democrat has served continuously since 1995.
